Hello everyone, I'm new here and have been reading the posts. I'm really impressed by the successful weight loss of you all. I hope it rubs off on me. I've been dieting FOREVER like many of you. I've gone up and down for years and hope to stop the insanity. I just moved to SC from CA 6 months ago and am fighting homesickness which means fighting comfort food for me. I hope to make friends here and keep losing weight.

Cay! Glad you're here!

Hi there! I know what you mean about being homesick. I moved TO california away from everyone and it really is hard. The people on here have been such great support for me and they will be for you too!

I started at the same exact weight as you. I had also done the up and down thing, never really sticking to it. This board really helps, especially if you participate a lot. There are food journal threads, exercise accountability, weigh-ins, everything to make you feel accountable. That's really helped me stay on track this time and not give up. You'll love it here and I know you'll have success!

Oh my gosh!!! I moved to georgia from california about a year ago. I have just started my weight loss journey. It's been hard but it feels like its getting easier.

Lately, I have been feeling homesick like crazy. I left all my family and friends behind. It's kind of lonely here. But instead of turning to food I've learned to excercise when I feel down. Trust me, you'll feel way better after an hour of excrcise instead of having a bowl of ice-cream.

Good luck and I hope I get to know you better around here!

we are all in this together, so please keep coming here for support...... even if you are not having a healthy eating day..... as that might give you motivation to make the next meal a healthy one, then all your meals will be healthy choices, and voila you will be one hot looking babe... hehe

but i know really well what confort food mean and even if i'm maybe too far to be a close friend i'll give you my support!

Thank you all for welcoming me to the group. I'm a little fuzzy on how to use this site there are so many groups. As far as my diet, I've started a lo cal but also limiting my carbs. I was exercising and weight lifting for a couple weeks but I just wasn't losing. Maybe it was the bowl of sugar cereal before bedtime . But I've cut my calories to 1300/day and trying to stay around 30-50 carbs/day. I feel better already and have lost a couple pounds. I just don't have long term discipline. I hope this helps.
